Demon, don't come any closer!

Chapter 16 Foundation Building for Health Preservation

in the afternoon.

Dou Changsheng was awakened by the knocking on the door.

Yawning, Dou Changsheng pushed open the door and slept soundly.

After drinking at two parties and killing a monster, the night was incredibly peaceful. Little did he know that when he closed his eyes again, he would see the strong and muscular figure of Constable Wang once more.

Upon seeing Dou Changsheng, Constable Wang eagerly took out a book from his pocket and, as if to claim credit, handed it to Dou Changsheng, saying quickly, "I have lived up to everyone's expectations."

"I have successfully purchased the complete book on health preservation and foundation building."

Dou Changsheng's spirits lifted, and he began to look through the pages. After a quick glance, he put the book in his pocket and thanked Officer Wang, saying, "Thank you very much, Brother Wang."

Chief Constable Wang patted his broad chest repeatedly with his large hands, saying in a very hearty manner, "Brother Dou's affairs are my affairs. We are all family. Just let me know if you need anything in the future."

Officer Wang didn't bother Dou Changsheng any further. After completing the transaction, he exchanged a few polite words and left in a hurry. It was obvious that Officer Wang had other important matters to attend to. Watching Officer Wang's departing figure, Dou Changsheng slowly withdrew his gaze.

After returning to his room, he began to watch the video attentively.

The Foundation Building of Health Preservation is divided into a general outline, nine boxing techniques, and three killing moves.

Among these nine styles of boxing, three styles form a group. If one can master all of them and understand them thoroughly, one will be able to learn the killing moves.

The three killing moves are extremely difficult to master; even if one learns the nine forms of the fist technique, they may not be able to control them.

The general principles are even more special. The three sets of nine-style boxing techniques can be linked together by the general principles to form a cycle, with each punch stronger than the last.

My main focus is mastering the first killing move, the Snake Entangling Hand!

This move is characterized by its speed, surprise, and tricky attack angles, making it difficult to defend against. It also has the effect of locking down, capturing, and immobilizing the enemy.

As for the remaining two deadly moves, they are not something we can touch right now. We can practice one or two of the six forms of boxing, but we don't need to spend too much effort on them, since we are mainly focusing on the first three forms right now.

After entering the martial arts realm, one must cultivate 365 types of internal energy. Only after mastering these internal energy can one focus on the next set of three fist techniques, starting to activate the internal energy and form the microcosmic and macrocosmic orbits. After completing this step, the final three fist techniques intertwine internally and externally, and the internal energy generates internal qi. Once the internal qi is formed, one reaches the eighth rank.

The ninth level of martial arts can be summarized into three major realms: mastery of internal strength, circulation of energy throughout the body, and unity of internal and external forces.

Dou Changsheng has only just entered the ninth rank of martial arts. He hasn't even reached the peak of this initial stage yet, so there's no need for him to be overly ambitious.

After watching the entire book, Dou Changsheng also learned the biggest feature of this Foundation Building and Health Preservation chapter: its power is long-lasting and the longer it lasts, the stronger it becomes, because each punch is stronger than the last, eventually multiplying several times over.

A pill appeared in his palm; it was none other than the Spirit Serpent Blood Transformation Pill.

The criteria for mission completion are quite lenient, which gave Dou Changsheng a lot of ideas. For example, regarding the follow-up mission for the ferocious tiger, as long as the ferocious tiger dies, it will definitely be considered completed.

Dou Changsheng swallowed it whole, and the medicinal power of the Spirit Serpent Blood Transformation Pill began to take effect. Dou Changsheng started punching again.

One after another, bursts of energy began to emerge, filling his entire body. Compared to the last time he consumed the Spirit Serpent Blood Transformation Pill, the effect this time was clearly much stronger.

The effects of elixirs should decrease gradually because of drug resistance. Over time, elixirs will become less effective. However, relying entirely on elixirs for cultivation is not a good thing. The foundation built by elixirs is relatively weak and easily becomes unstable, which will create obstacles when trying to break through to higher realms in the future.

Therefore, pills can be taken, but they cannot be taken indiscriminately. They need to be taken in moderation. After taking one pill, you should wait for a period of time before taking a second one.

In this case, the Spirit Serpent Blood Transformation Pill is of course not available. Since it is produced by the system, it is guaranteed to be of high quality and there is no drug resistance.

Dou Changsheng had a hunch that the reason the power was so great now was probably because the last time he broke through to the next level, which had consumed a lot of energy. The most difficult thing is always to create something from nothing.

Time passed slowly, and after about an hour, Dou Changsheng was drenched in sweat and his whole body was soaked. Despite this, Dou Changsheng continued to practice his boxing again and again.

This was his only chance to stand out and survive, so Dou Changsheng naturally dared not slacken. Relying on his strong willpower, he overcame the challenges time and time again until all the medicinal power of the Spirit Serpent Blood Transformation Pill was completely exhausted.

After exhaling a breath of stale air, Dou Changsheng began to test the effectiveness of his cultivation.

One hundred streams of force.

This is a terrifying number. If Dou Changsheng had three more Spirit Serpent Blood Transformation Pills, he would have achieved mastery of his strength.

Cultivating oneself through drug use is indeed a crooked and evil path; it's too fast.

If Dou Changsheng were to practice his boxing honestly and try to condense all one hundred streams of energy, it would take him years, given his aptitude.

This is considered a medium-level aptitude, which is the most common. Most martial artists who can enter the ranks have this aptitude. It's impossible for someone with a lower aptitude to enter the ranks unless they come from a prominent family and can be promoted through their skills and resources.

Only those with superior aptitude can break through to the middle three ranks. As for the upper three ranks, special talent is required, and even that is not guaranteed; it also requires a certain amount of luck.

Dou Changsheng summoned his servants to prepare hot water. After taking a comfortable hot bath and enjoying a delicious meal, he finally felt refreshed and played with a coin in his hand.

In the previous life, this thing was simply the name for the money donated to the ancestral temple. In this life, it is money made by combining the power of faith with Shouyang bronze.

It is round on the outside and square on the inside, with the words "Taiyi" engraved on it.

The front has words on it, and the back has no words on it. The design is very simple and unremarkable.

Even such a simple incense coin is quite complicated to make, especially the incense and Shouyang bronze, which all have strict standards, making them extremely difficult to imitate.

The standards set by the Sun and Moon Demon Court are still used by all races today. No matter how the coin designs change, the incense and the bronze content of Shouyang remain the same.

Therefore, every single incense coin is usable by all races, which is one of the achievements of the Ancestor of All Demons.

They standardized the written language and weights and measures, creating a glorious era for the demon race.

However, Shouyang bronze is precious, and ordinary people simply cannot afford such incense money; they use coins formed from the power of faith.

Without the Shouyang Bronze, the incense coins, which are formed purely from the power of faith, cannot purify the power of faith. They are filled with all sorts of miscellaneous thoughts. Although they can still be used for cultivation, there are considerable hidden dangers.

The incense money in Chenjiazhuang refers to this kind of incense coin. The Taiyi coin, which truly contains Shouyang bronze, is extremely valuable and is usually involved in large-scale transactions.

This Taiyi coin was obtained through Fang Ziyu's influence.

One Taiyi coin is worth more than a thousand ordinary incense coins, but the effect of cultivation is only equivalent to a few incense coins, at most ten. However, Taiyi coins still retain their value because they have no future problems associated with incense offerings.

The true disciples of great sects and scions of noble families all use Taiyi coins.

Hesitant and uncertain, he finally got up and decided to use the Taiyi coin.

After a period of strenuous practice, the Taiyi coin lost its luster and all its mystique. Dou Changsheng sighed; one Taiyi coin had enhanced his strength by about twenty levels.

The results weren't very good, mainly because of poor aptitude.

To complete the cultivation using Taiyi coins, you need about ten coins. It doesn't sound like much, but if you exchange it for ordinary incense money, it would only be a little over a hundred.

But Dou Changsheng dared not do that. He would definitely go crazy if he used it continuously. It was okay if he used one or two occasionally with long intervals.

Therefore, it is common for rogue cultivators to go mad and suffer from qi deviation. Because they cannot afford pills, they can only take risks and use incense coins to break through their cultivation level. But swallowing incense coins is not as good as eating people.

This is the Great Wilderness World, a world filled with malice.
